Kathy Barnard - Intro to Etching

Service Description

Single-Day class, Tuesday Beginner/introductory level Kathy Barnard will teach the basics of etching glass with a sandblaster. Students will create a small piece through experimentation with tools and techniques. Disposable respirators will be provided but students are encouraged to bring their own if desired. From Kathy - "After years of working with glass and learning how it behaves, I have mastered how it holds and reflects light, and I use this knowledge in my designs to vividly portray a color as no other substance can. My works range from delicate etched flower plates to glass panels making up the side of an entire building. I create sculptural carved art glass, deep carved windows and murals as well as stained glass windows. My designs include the human figure and geometric patterns, but my true love is nature and my research of plants and animals is exhibited repeatedly in my designs."
